desire I may have for my child to win.

15. I will respect the officials and their authority during games and will never question, discuss,

or confront coaches at the game field, and will take time to speak with coaches at an agreed upon

time and place.

16. I will demand a sports environment for my child that is free from drugs, tobacco, and alcohol

and I will refrain from their use at all sports events.

17. I will refrain from coaching my child or other players during games and practices, unless I

I understand that a game may be stopped by an Off-Ice or On-Ice Official when if I or any parent

or spectator displays inappropriate or disruptive behavior which interferes with other spectators

or the game. The Off Ice or On-Ice Officials will identify the violator and remove the offending

person from the game area or arena. Removed violators will incur a minimum mandatory 3-

game suspension from that team’s games, and must appear before the League Disciplinary

Committee before the offending person will be allowed to return to any League games.

Violators are subject to further disciplinary action by the Disciplinary Committee.

Concussion Recognition & Policy

Concussions: The Invisible InjuryStudent and Parent Information Sheet

FactS about concuSSIonS accordIng to the center For dISeaSe control (cdc)

l An estimated 4 million people under age 19 sustain a head injury annually. Of these approximately 52,000 die and 275,000 are hospitalized.l An estimated 300,000 sports and recreation related concussions occur each year.l Students who have had at least one concussion are at increased risk for another concussion.

In New York State in 2009, approximately 50,500 children under the age of 19 visited the emergency room for a traumatic brain injury and of those approximately 3,000 were hospitalized.

requIrementS oF School dIStrIctS

Education:l Each school coach, physical education teacher, nurse, and athletic trainer will have to complete an approved course on concussion management on a biennial basis, starting with the 2012-2013 school year. j School coaches and physical education teachers must complete the CDC course. (www.cdc.gov/concussion/HeadsUp/online_training.html) j School nurses and certified athletic trainers must complete the concussion course. (http://preventingconcussions.org)

Information: l Provide concussion management information and sign off with any parental permission form. l The concussion management and awareness information or the State Education Department’s web site must be made available on the school web site, if one exists.

Removal from athletics:l Require the immediate removal from athletic activities of any pupil that has or is believed to have sustained a mild traumatic brain injury. l No pupils will be allowed to resume athletic activity until they have been symptom free for 24 hours and have been evaluated by and received written and signed authorization from a licensed physician. For interscholastic athletics, clearance must come from the school medical director. j Such authorization must be kept in the pupil’s permanent heath record. j Schools shall follow directives issued by the pupil’s treating physician.

SymPtomS

Symptoms of a concussion are the result of a temporary change in the brain’s function. In most cases, the symptoms of a concussion generally resolve over a short period of time; however, in some cases, symptoms will last for weeks or longer. Children and adolescents are more susceptible to concussions and take longer than adults to recover.

It is imperative that any student who is suspected of having a concussion is removed from athletic activity (e.g. recess, PE class, sports) and remains out of such activities until evaluated and cleared to return to activity by a physician.

Symptoms include, but are not limited to:l Decreased or absent memory of events prior to or immed- iately after the injury, or difficulty retaining new informationl Confusion or appears dazedl Headache or head pressurel Loss of consciousnessl Balance difficulties, dizziness, or clumsy movementsl Double or blurry visionl Sensitivity to light and/or soundl Nausea, vomiting and/or loss of appetite l Irritability, sadness or other changes in personalityl Feeling sluggish, foggy or light-headedl Concentration or focusing problemsl Drowsinessl Fatigue and/or sleep issues – sleeping more or less than usual

Students who develop any of the following signs, or if signs and symptoms worsen, should be seen and evaluated immediately at the nearest hospital emergency room.l Headaches that worsenl Seizuresl Looks drowsy and/or cannot be awakenedl Repeated vomitingl Slurred speechl Unable to recognize people or placesl Weakness or numbing in arms or legs, facial droopingl Unsteady gaitl Change in pupil size in one eyel Significant irritabilityl Any loss of consciousnessl Suspicion for skull fracture: blood draining from ear or clear fluid from the nose

concuSSIon deFInItIon

A concussion is a reaction by the brain to a jolt or force that can be transmitted to the head by an impact or blow occurring anywhere on the body. Essentially a concussion results from the brain moving back and forth or twisting rapidly inside the skull.

State educatIon dePartment’S guIdance For concuSSIon management

Schools are advised to develop a written concussion manage-ment policy. A sample policy is available on the NYSPHSAA web site at www.nysphsaa.org. The policy should include: l A commitment to reduce the risk of head injuries.l A procedure and treatment plan developed by the district medical director.l A procedure to ensure proper education for school nurses, certified athletic trainers, physical education teachers, and coaches.l A procedure for a coordinated communication plan among appropriate staff.l A procedure for periodic review of the concussion management program.

Return to play Protocol following a concussion.

The following protocol has been established in accordance to the National Federation of State High

School Associations and the International Conference on Concussion in Sport, Prague 2004.

When an athlete shows ANY signs or symptoms of a concussion:

1. The athlete will not be allowed to return to play in the current game or practice.

2. The athlete should not be left alone, and regular monitoring for deterioration is essential

over the initial few hours following injury.

3. The athlete should be medically evaluated following the injury.

4. Return to play must follow a medically supervised stepwise process.

The cornerstone of proper concussion management is rest until all symptoms resolve and then a

graded program of exertion before return to sport. The program is broken down into six steps in

which only one step is covered a day. The six steps involve the following:

1. No exertional activity until asymptomatic for 24 hours.

2. Light aerobic exercise such as walking or stationary bike, etc. No resistance training.

3. Sport specific exercise such as skating, running, etc. Progressive addition of resistance

training may begin.

4. Non-contact training/skill drills.

5. Full contact training in practice setting.

6. Return to competition

If any concussion symptoms recur, the athlete should drop back to the previous level and try to

progress after 24 hours of rest.

The student-athlete should also be monitored for recurrence of symptoms due to mental exertion,

such as reading, working on a computer, or taking a test.
